True, however iirc the tools panel layout can be adjusted in standard GIMP — maybe not to the width of one icon, and by default the panel is also used for the tools options. Afaiu there was more sense in Photogimp when GIMP had floating windows, those really were dark times.

My main issue with GIMP is that I can never memorize the location of the buttons for less-frequently-used tools, and the icons are not too recognizable. But that can be fixed with an icon theme, and perhaps with reordering the buttons if that’s indeed possible.

which is false

“Trust me bro, it’s completely different.”

Actual apps: tools on the left, layers on the right, the pic in the middle. The important menus are in the same places. Apparently Photoshop users lack pattern recognition.

People both here and on Reddit keep complaining about the ‘bad UI’ of GIMP compared to Photoshop. Which UI is laid out the same way as in Photoshop.

Reminder that (some) policemen learned to ricochet rubber bullets off the ground. One comedian mentioned that in his set, said the bullet hit him straight into the nuts. As a USian he was obligated to appreciate the cool shot.

Idk about ‘love’, that’s rather in the Christian “love the sinner, hate the sin”. Outside of that, it’s just “don’t hate the player”.

But anyway, in this case I don’t so much hate them as support their right to choose their fate. However, the real victims here are immunocompromised people, those who can’t use vaccines, the elderly and children who are collateral damage by getting infected from the unvaccinated.

And then, since the ‘game’ was brought on by the conservative folks upon themselves and others via their choices, why shouldn’t I blame them?

I thought you folks loved democracy.

Coincidentally, I’m getting way more replies on Lemmy from people who don’t get sarcasm, than on Reddit.

I developed something like ADHD in adulthood, and the only gaming I do is grinding Assetto Corsa and a couple moto sims. Anything with a story gets forgotten halfway through.

I mean, technically it is, since it shows how long a bar is compared to one whole note. 4/4 is four fourths of a note.

I managed to fix the routine a bit in the past week or so, and had some great nights of sleep, uninterrupted and unmarred by dreams. Feels pretty nice.

I can do a bit of lucid dreaming, in that after waking up and falling asleep again, I’m often aware that I’m dreaming — but full control and consciousness eluded me so far, it’s more like the mind racing with random thoughts in half-sleep. So haven’t gained anything from it either (and don’t quite think I want to).

For most of my life I slept like a log for eight hours straight and basically never had dreams. Then recently-ish I botched my day routine beyond repair and discovered that I do dream when in light sleep, namely when falling asleep again after having woken up. Combined with drinking too much alcohol sometimes, this gives me shittiest completely absurd dreams of no value, just confusion and a very unpleasant feeling. Even when a dream is nice, I then wake up remembering I have my daily grind to look forward to. I’ll much rather go back to no dreams.

The band took off in January with the KEXP performance, after playing shows for two years. Their outlandish garbs and wacky setup likely contributed to the popularity — wouldn’t expect to see much interest in microtonal math-rock otherwise.

many people are trying to explain time signature

I’m glad they did, because I also have a hard time with time sigs, and was hoping to see some explanations. In fact, one comment here finally elucidated that I understood signatures wrong this whole time.

Weird: in my multiple attempts to grok what time sigs are about, I’ve heard a different explanation: that the lower number indicates the beat on which the emphasis is. But now the first paragraph in Wikipedia’s article body confirms what you say. Some kind of Mandela effect going on here. However, Wikipedia also notices that irrational meters may have a lower number that’s not a power of two.

It’s just an example of guys who definitely must count stuff so that it always fits exactly into the loop while also being precisely timed between the guitar tracks and the drums

As for physics, iirc the book series by Feynman is recommended to really dig all the stuff from the basics to the fancy theories, and Feynman was no slouch himself.

Also, Einstein was teaching students in the US later in life.

But what about weird fractions like 5/7 and such?

I’ve seen the books ‘Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain’ by Betty Edwards and ‘The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission to Be The Artist You Truly Are’ by Danny Gregory being recommended to those who have a hard time learning to draw. The commenter also provided examples of their own drawings before and after, and it was night and day.

However, I looked through the examples a bit, and am wary of reading the books myself, because the drawings there are very representative, while I’m aiming for a more wacky style. It could also be that the books are mainly about drawing from references, not sure yet.

“I was young and stupid, but after many years of hard work and dedication, I’m no longer young.”

Okay, then what does the bottom number do? It seems pretty essential for complex rhythms like 5/17 or whatnot.

Try trackers, in particular Renoise (it’s free to use as a demo, without exporting, though there are workarounds for that). At the first glance, it’s a spreadsheet where you place samples playing notes. In practice, it works great for people like me who can barely tell what different notes sound like, much less feel intervals and stuff. You just put your samples such that you get the rhythm you want, and don’t forget to twiddle the effects because they make a big difference. Of course, this works best for dancey electronic music.
